Cooking for one shouldn't be boring, expensive or wasteful. Maggie Maguire shows you how.

BLACKENED FISH

1. Place the seasoning on a large dinner plate. Place the fish on the seasoning and try to cover it all with seasoning.

2. Set frypan heating on a medium-hot stove plate. When the oil sizzles when some flour is thrown in, put the fish fillet skin side down in the pan. Cook on one side 2-4 minutes until you see small bits of white liquid coming out of the fish or the fish forms flakes when you poke it with a fork. Turn the fish and cook the other side for about two minutes. Take the fish straight out of the pan and put it onto the dinner plate.
